Giving Tuesday Coming Soon!

Each person in the brain injury community has their own unique form of personal empowerment.

That’s why at BEST, we help people, who have a canvas at the ready, with the tools, strategies and resources to help them tap into their own kind of creativity and empowerment that works best for them. 

Add that to the exciting idea of the power of being an actual artist. 

We see our community as Empowerment Artists, and there is no such thing as failure.

We’ve already begun with success by being (empowerment) artists already.

Together, let’s make beautiful and important empowerment art on our journey forward after brain injury.  

Here’s your chance to practice the artistry of sharing your care, along with supporting others on their empowerment journey. 

The Brain Energy Support Team (BEST) has joined #GivingTuesday, a global day of giving that harnesses the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity worldwide. Giving Tuesday is Tuesday, December 3, 2019. 

Our theme? The Art of Empowerment
